A DC bus collection system for a wind farm reduces the overall required number of converters and minimizes the energy storage system requirements. The DC bus collection system implements a power phasing control method between wind turbines that filters the variations and improves power quality. The phasing control method takes advantage of a novel power packet network concept with nonlinear power flow control design techniques that guarantees both stable and enhanced dynamic performance.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The wind farm of claim 1, wherein the controller comprises a slip control to control an electrical torque of the electrical induction machine, thereby time delaying the direct current generated by the wind turbine that is injected into the DC collection bus.
3. The wind farm of claim 1, wherein the individual time delay of each wind turbine is equally shifted and spaced with respect to each of the other wind turbines over the total phase delay time.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the controller comprises a slip control to control an electrical torque of the electrical induction machine, thereby time delaying the direct current generated by the wind turbine that is injected into the DC collection bus.
6. The method of claim 4, wherein the individual time delay of each wind turbine is equally shifted and spaced with respect to each other wind turbines over the total phase delay time.
